Entertainment 

As the sun sets get ready for live music, theme nights, movies and stage spectaculars. Now that's what you call a holiday!

Start with a pre-dinner drink or catch up with friends over cocktails. Then take your seat in the Marquee Theatre for a musical production, laugh your head off at a comedy show, rock on to our live bands, singers, specialty acts and musicians. Or watch the stars on the Big Screen at a recent-release movie.

Cocktail Nights give you the chance to dress up and dance the night away. Everything's open till late, including our casino.

Every cruise features a variety of shows and entertainment. Our high-energy Las Vegas style revues are choreographed and produced especially for P&O Cruises.  The specially designed theatre allows you to sit back and relax in perfect comfort, while you enjoy a drink and the show. Here are some of the highlights of our current shows:

Motor City

Captures the soul sounds of the legendary Motown performers. Enjoy classic hits by superstars like Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross & The Supremes and Marvin Gaye.

Pirates of the Pacific

A fast-paced, entertaining, interactive show taking you on a true Pirate voyage! This fun, family friendly show is hugely popular. 

Pirates of the Pacific 2: The Mutiny

Like any great pirate adventure, we had to add a sequel which continues the legacy of our motley crew of pirates. Equally as interactive as Pirates, Piratesof the Pacific 2: The Mutiny is another family favourite.

Girt by Sea
